DING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,349, dated September 4, 1883.

I Application tiled April 5, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom imo/,y concern..-

Be it knownthat I, CHEIsTIAN J. WEINMAN,

ton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shoe-Heel-Beading `Malowing is a full, clear, and exact description of i the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and erence marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. e e

My invention relates to a series of disks attached to a revolving shaft used in finishing the edges of boot and shoe heels; and it consists of a suitable frame to support the shaft and the necessary pulleys'to communicate force to the same.

The obj ects'are to bead the seat of the heel tain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side viewof the shoe-heel-beading machine. Fig. 2 is the outward end of shaft of said machine. Fig.` 3 is a section of the bear-` ing-disk. FigA is a side view ofthe beadingdisk. Fig. 5 is a 'section of the edging-disk.

Fig. 6 is a section of the disk I. side view of the locking-nut.

The draft is one-half'the size of the practical machine, and the detailed drawings are full size.

Similar letters refer to similar out the several views.

A is a substantial iron frame, having two posts, in which the shaft B has its bearings.

Eig. 7 is a parts throughpulley C and theloose pulley C. A belt runs from a counter-shaft to the fixed pulley to rotate the shaft.

D is a belt-guide supportedon the posts'G', used to give motion to the machinel orto arrest the sam v j f The end of the shaft is shouldered, and a at B, Fig. 2. The several disks are placed on the shaft in the order of their illustrationiirst, the bearing-disk L; second, the-beadingdisk K; third,"the.edgingdisk J. These several disks are used for beadingand burnishing the edge of the heel next to the upper, or the f seat of the heel. The disk I is the last, and against which the lock-nut H bears. This nut is turned up tightly against `the disk by a spanner.

This causes all the disks to rotate with the shaft, with the exception of the serrated or beading disk, which rests loosely on the hub of the disk J, and is rotated when theoperator places ashoe-heel against it by the movement givenby said operator. While the operator holds, the disk J burnishes the edge, the bearing-disk preventing the beading-,disk from making too' deep an impression on the heel.

The top lift of heel is burnished by the disk I, v which may have a plain notch or a slight elevation on the face, as represented.

Before operating the machine the disks are suitably heated in any convenient manner. .In burnis'hing either the seat or topof the A heel the operator holds the toe of the. shoe in his right hand and the counter in his left, and the circular surface of the heel is rmly pressed against the revolving disks, as above specified.

claim, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is*

In a machine for beading boot or shoe heels, the bearing-disk L, the edging-disk J ,provided with an annular notch and projecting hub,

,the beading-disk K, and the burnishing-disk I, all secured in place by a suitable lock-nut,

Having fully described my invention, what I H, the disks L," J and I being rigidly secured Y to the shaft, and thebeading-disk K being loosely mounted upon the hub of the disk J, as described, all beingadapted to finish the edge of a boot or shoe, in the mannerand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony-that I claim the foregoing asA my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
